In 2007, when many of the big banks began to absorb brokerage firms, we went the other way and bought our own bank. We built a bank centered on exceptional customer service, where the advisor is our client. Our bankers serve as an extension of Stifel’s entrepreneurial culture, deepening the client relationship our advisor have worked so hard to build. At Stifel, our banking capabilities match up with the wirehouses, yet without the bureaucracy, cross-selling pressure, product-pushing, or haircuts to your grid.
